The Fab Four had only been successful, modestly, in the U.K (with their first single, Love Me Do) when the John Lennon composition “Please Please Me” was recorded – with heavy influence from producer George Martin, who had them speed up the song. It became their first single released in the U.S., in early 1963, and included on their first U.S. album release. Both are here in this clock.

Layered vinyl tiers flank the triangle in Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, the iconic album that kept selling steadlily decade after decade. Jen is the proud purchaser (for a friend) at our OverTones-thrown concert last week.

3D with tiers of LP wedges, and orange vinyl accenting the Warner Bros. “Burbank” record label on this clock for buddy and singing comrade Daniel Graves – a tribute to his favorite group Tower of Power, on the evening last month that we went to see them in Beverly Hills. The Tower needs some repairs – prayers for two members of the group in the hospital after being struck by a train. Not funky.

Catching up on some previously made clocks over last couple of years. This one for my longest-running friend, Mark (Michigan/Florida) and his wonderful wife Deb. We were music-jammin’ buddies back in high school, trying to impress the girls with guitar (Mark), string bass (me) and harmonizing on James Taylor songs and folkie stuff. Leo Kottke too.
